CORBIN — The Corbin Lady Redhound tennis team held serve once again, winning their 14th straight 13th Region Tournament championship while dominating singles, and doubles action throughout the tournament.
Lyndsay Jones captured the singles title after handing North Laurel’s Eva Clark a 6-4, 6-2 loss on Monday while the doubles duo of Katie Morton and Olivia McArthur won the doubles regional title over teammates Allison Lundy and Abby Lunsford, 6-0, 7-6(7-2).
Corbin has such a rich history of success on the tennis court, it’s just an honor and privilege to continue that winning tradition. When you can win a region championship in any sport for 14 consecutive years, you’ve got a lot to be proud of.
“Hosting this tournament and coaching my own team was difficult to say the least,” Corbin coach Chris Jones said. “I never could have done it without my wife and assistant coach, Tara Jones, as well as the boys’ coaches Eric Maguet and Jeff Hill and all of our amazing parent volunteers.
“This was just the cherry on top of a great season for our girls,” he added. “They worked hard all year, played a super tough schedule with the top teams from all around the state, and finished out 23-1 overall, 14-0 in the region during the season.
“I’m so proud of all of our girls,” Jones continued. “We’re taking our entire region team to state this year, and we hope to make some noise up in Lexington. Kaiden Walden stepped up big in just her second year on the team making it to the semifinals. Again this year in doubles, the championship was Corbin versus Corbin which just speaks to how dominant our teams of Katie Morton/Olivia McArthur and Allison Lundy/Abby Lunsford were this season. And it was extra special to watch my own daughter, Lindsay Jones, capture her third consecutive singles title.”
